*ISEA IS NOW ACCEPTING BIDS TO HOST ISEA2006*


*MISSION*

The series of symposia known as the International Symposium on
Electronic Art was initiated in 1988 to create and maintain an
international network of organizations and individuals active in the
field of electronic arts. In 1990 this network took shape as an
association, founded in The Netherlands, called the Inter-Society for
the Electronic Arts (ISEA).

ISEA was established to oversee the continuance of the symposia and each
symposium promotes the aims and objectives of the Inter-Society:  the
event and the society are therefore mutually supportive. Both ISEA and
the Symposium are dedicated to the interdisciplinary and cross-cultural
communication/cooperation between the arts and the fields of technology,
science, education, and industry. Beyond its integral support of the
symposium ISEA also realizes its mission by supporting other events,
developing partnerships, implementing culturally diverse initiatives, as
well as through publishing and archiving. ISEA is committed to
collaboration, membership participation, and the creation of new work.

The aims of the Inter-Society and of the ISEA symposia are

- the promotion of communication between organizations and individuals
active in the field of the electronic arts

- the creation of a structured approach towards the problems and
potentials of electronic art.

- the promotion of interdisciplinary and cross-cultural
communication/cooperation between the arts and the fields of technology,
science, education, and industry.

- research, presentation and exhibition of work related to ISEAís mission.
